What are the symptoms of hydrocortisone allergy?
I have had a swollen, hot, red and itchy knuckle and earlobe.
== No, you most likely do not have the swine flu. You probably have an allergic reaction to house dust. This is a common allergy and can be treated easily with a prescription from your doctor to Flonase or a similar local steroid or antihistamine medication. Keep track of your temperature, typically allergies will not give you a fever and swine flu will. Check the related question for the list of symptoms of swine flu, a link is provided below.

Can granular activated carbon water filters cause and allergic reaction such as hives?
Yes. I have had physiological reactions to these filters twice now. The first was a few years ago. I was drinking from a jug of water from the Baltimore City water supply. The jug had been treated with activated carbon. It turned my veins red. My doctor was the one who first figured it out. Years later, I moved to Europe, where most people who I know do not drink the water. Anyway, I had been drinking from a jug that I did not know was filtered with activated carbon. I got my first and worst case of hives. There are real problems with treating water with activated carbon and very few people are talking about it.

Muscle spasms in your abdominal area when you bend over?
I had this problem several years ago, it was caused by diverticulitis. You need to see a doctor and they will probably need to schedule you for a colonoscopy. The colonoscopy is easy, do not worry about it. If you have diverticulitis and do not change to a high fiber diet you can develop "pockets" in your colon that can become abscessed and get infected. If unchecked it can result in the need for a colostomy surgery which can leave you wearing a colostomy bag.
What do you do if a toddler accidentlly eats a gecko?
If it really is a gecko, they aren't poisonous. I'd observe the toddler for a day or so and not worry too much about this. If they show any adverse reactions -- vomiting, hives, truoble breathing, etc., I'd call a doctor. However I'd be very surprised if this causes any real problems.

A pimple, or blemish, is a pore that got clogged up by either bacteria, oil, or dirt that caused inflammation of the tissue. It will go away. Skin cancer is when the cells of your skin mulitply out of control, mostly by sun damange, and create a mole-like pigmentation that continues to change and never go away. The only way to care for any type of skin cancer is by surgically removing it.

Ask me anytime by sending me a message too - I am a survivor of malenoma.
